Germany’s economy has recovered from the economic recession of the past few years much faster than any of its peers in Europe — unemployment rates for both old and young workers are now lower than they were when the US went into recession in 2007, now resting at less than 8%. To a notable degree, this economic recovery is at least partially the result of the German “Energiewende” — the renewable energy revolution.
